Research on a Conflict Early Warning System Based on the Active Safety Concept

Abstract EN

In order to reduce traffic conflicts on cross-intensive roads, this paper proposes a new early warning system based on the active safety concept.

The system collects real-time vehicle data using roadside sensors and transmits the results to drivers on the major road in a timely manner via roadside warning lights.

In this research, the principles of the warning system are discussed in detail, including how the vehicle dynamics data are collected and how potential collisions are identified and avoided.

Through a driving simulation experiment, the speed prediction model after implementation of the warning system was examined.

Results indicated that it can accurately identify the vehicle operating status, accurately guide driving behavior, and effectively reduce traffic conflict.

To verify the reliability of the proposed warning logic and algorithm, numerical simulations were carried out via CarSim/Simulink cosimulation.

The simulation results indicate that the proposed system enables drivers to perceive conflicting vehicles in advance, avoid the sudden braking phenomenon, and ensure safe driving.
